The bread and the circuses came to be nearing
The Saviour or somebody must be appearing
Pagans and pageants were all disappearing
Inside my head.
This song and its intro have come back into my head. A live recording from the days when #PhilOchs still had that lightness and humour available to him as the frame for his righteous anger.
'We were hardly aware of the hardships they bear,
for our time was taken with treasure....'

"Tape from California" by Phil Ochs was released in July 1968.

"An outspoken group on many subjects. Ten degrees to the left of center in good times, ten degrees to the right of center if it affects them personally...
"Sure, once I was young and impulsive /
I wore every conceivable pin /
Even went to socialist meetings /
Learned all the old union hymns /
Ah, but I've grown older and wiser /
And that's why I'm turning you in /
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal"
